Being inspired in pottery can happen anywhere, at any time!

In this episode, I talk about 5 surprising sources of inspiration for making pottery that I’ve experienced as a Potter: 

💡 - Archaeology books - depicting the shapes and surface decoration of ancient pottery.

💡 - Books for collectors of pottery -  (or glass!) about a specific pottery industry. 

💡 - Food packaging - which often has beautifully designed and functional shapes. 

💡 - Cookware - such as casserole dishes, saucepans and enamel pie dishes. 

💡 - Charity shops - often have beautiful pieces of pottery from many different eras that can be picked up cheaply for inspiration.
